Synopsis
The authors, engineers by vocation, baseball fans by avocation, present a series of experiments that put some of baseball's most cherished myths to the test. The laws of physics, psychology, physiology and other scientific perspectives are applied to baseball, but the more technical information is set aside in boxes so that readers with little appreciation of mathematics or physics can skip the equations and still understand the principles.

About the Author
Robert G. Watts teaches in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tulane University. Having more than a mere theoretical interest in the game, he pitched as a young man for the semiprofessional Bayou Latanache Baseball Club--where he gained first-hand knowledge of spitballs, fly balls, and a healthy familiarity with insider-baseball lore. A. Terry Bahill has been Professor of Systems Engineering at the University of Arizona in Tucson since 1984. He has been investigating the brain's motor functions since 1971. Actively pursuing experiments in the science of baseball for many years, he has developed a measuring device that strengthens a player's ability to follow the pitch, as well as the Bat Chooser, a system that computes the Ideal Bat Weight for individual hitters.
